Appium Client Libraries

Appium has libraries for:

Note that some methods such as endTestCoverage() are not generally useful. Proper coverage support will be added once this issue is resolved. If you want to use them anyway, consult the documentation for the bindings on GitHub.

action.press(element=el, x=10, y=10).release().perform()

// java
TouchAction action = new TouchAction(driver)
.press(mapview, 10, 10)
.release().
perform();

// javascript
var action = new wd.TouchAction(driver);
action
  .tap({el: el, x: 10, y: 10})
  .release();
return action.perform(); // returns a promise

// php
$action = $this->initiateTouchAction();
               ->press(array('element' => $el))
               ->release()
               ->perform();

$action1 = $this->initiateTouchAction();
$action1->press(array('element' => $els[0]))
        ->moveTo(array('x' => 10, 'y' => 0))
        ->moveTo(array('x' => 10, 'y' => -75))
        ->moveTo(array('x' => 10, 'y' => -600))
        ->release();

$action2 = $this->initiateTouchAction();
$action2->press(array('element' => $els[1]))
        ->moveTo(array('x' => 10, 'y' => 10))
        ->moveTo(array('x' => 10, 'y' => -300))
        ->moveTo(array('x' => 10, 'y' => -600))
        ->release();

$multiAction = $this->initiateMultiAction();
$multiAction->add($action1);

$this->pushFile($path, base64_encode($data));

// c#
driver.PushFile("/data/local/tmp/file.txt", "some data for the file");

Settings

Here you will find sample code for getting/setting appium serverSetting. For more information on how they work, and which settings are supported, see [the settings docs][/docs/en/advanced-concepts/settings.md]

current_settings = get_settings
update_settings someSetting: true

current_settings = driver.get_settings()
driver.update_settings({"someSetting": true})

JsonObject settings = driver.getSettings()
// java-client doesn't support setting arbitrary settings, just settings which are already provided by appium.
// So for the 'ignoreUnimportantViews' setting, the following method exists:
driver.ignoreUnimportantViews(true);

var settings = driver.settings();
browser.updateSettings({'someSetting': true});

$settings = $this->getSettings();
$this->updateSettings(array('cyberdelia' => "open"));

Dictionary<String, Object>settings = driver.GetSettings();
// dotnet-driver doesn't support setting arbitrary settings, just settings which are already provided by appium.
// So for the 'ignoreUnimportantViews' setting, the following method exists:
driver.IgnoreUnimportantViews(true);
